Happy birthday to ya!

Happy birthday to ya! The Best Web App still alive turns 1 and doesn't look like slowing down. Now it's found it's legs, it seems like time to take pyra out of diapers and potty train the little guy (you can tell what's happening in my house at the moment).

Blogger is a wonderful tool - I wouldn't be able to maintain my website without it, right now - thanks to everyone who had a hand in it - you all rock.

Best Web App still alive? I love that still alive part. :)

I wish I ran a company, so I could have my own customised little Blogger.

I wish I had a blog of my very own... with navelgazing, incoherent rants, stale links, and utter inanities (in other words, nothing like here). Maybe, just maybe, my wish will come true someday, and when it does, I hope Blogger will be there to help lead the way! (Sigh)

Yeah me too! Navelgazing rocks, stale links rule my world and I am a bitch to utter inanities... Explain this to me: why does everyone want everything to be USEFUL. Just because it's wank, doesn't mean it's bad!

Wanking good? Nonsense! Do not cast your posts on a barren rocky place where they may find no purchase! That on the web which does not lead to creation -- and preferably creation by the pros, hence pro-creation -- is an abomination in the eyes of the W3C and will be smote.

Here endeth the sarcasm. (Happy birthday, Blogger! I'm looking forward to your terrible twos.)

Um. Wanking is all well and good, as long as you don't do it in public, in which case you become liable to arrest, conviction and public disgrace: vide Pee-Wee Herman. (Although if you're George Michael, it may revive your career.)

Here endeth the metaphor.
